Twilight Dreams & Other things....

Another friend, another terminal disease. Is this why I keep people at a distance? So no one close to me gets sick and I have to watch them and their condition deteriorate? She's strong and she's going to fight it like she's had to scratch and claw for everything else in her life. There's nothing I can do. I'm powerless and I hate that. I can't stop her from hurting and I damn sure can't make her start her treatment right now.She's got so much stuff on her plate right now and all I should do is be there in the corner when she needs me. Her focus should be on doing whatever she can to prolong her life and delay the symptoms, not worrying about whether she can carry a baby to term because she knows how much her husband wants a child of his own and the last tbing she would want to do is disappoint him. It can't be lost on him that if it costs him her life to carry this child, that the child would then grow up without a mother.  -sigh- No child should have to do that. I'm writing more than I wanted but this is weighing heavily on me. I don't know the exact risks or odds but I want her here and I want her happy, even if she can't conceive safely. I've already lost one friend too soon. Someone I loved just as I have loved her. ( No, I'm not even going to suggest that loving me can kill you but there is evidence to support this, eh? ) I'm going back to pray... I just hope God is still listening.

  I am sorry to hear about your friend.  I hope the best for her, and hope things work out alright for her and her family.  Unfortunately there are just some things that we cannot fix, this I know.  I have beat myself up about that subject on more than just a few occasions.  I often try to fix everything, only to find out that it is humanly impossible.  All we can do is be where we need to be, when we need to be there and in whatever capacity is needed at the time.  Not always easy, but extremely important.
